The luxury steel Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop® motor yacht has always been the company flagship. Since 1996, this yacht has been built with this unique convertible top, which means that the 500 AC Variotop® has always been in a class of its own. Its little sisters, the 450 and 480 AC Variotop®, from the same Grand Sturdy series, have been on the market for several years now. A new yacht in the Linssen SL series will be out by the end of 2022: the Linssen 55 SL AC Variotop®.
The Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop® has been regularly improved and updated over the years. The engineering has been upgraded to a newer generation, with small details and sometimes major components being replaced and improved. The exterior has been given the latest SPH® hull shape to ensure even better sailing characteristics and the interior is fresh, modern and yet timeless. In addition, the latest generation of Variotops is a true “one touch” version with the latest electronic control system.
First Variotop® in the SL series
The Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop is now getting a real “sister” in the SL series. With a length overall of 16.50 metres, this is the luxury Linssen 55 SL AC Variotop®. The design of this SL was also produced in collaboration with KesselsGranger Designworks, and that is clearly reflected in the consistently implemented style. The clean, modern look with contrasting shades of grey in the saloon windows and Variotop wheelhouse really stands out. The rising waterline and bow shape also create the immediately recognisable “Sports Luxury” look.
